Reminds me of CU-Mizzou games in Columbia, when Stormin' Norman was coaching UM.
Last night was mixed results for the Buffs.
Hartford got a home conference win to move to 8-6 (1-0).
Air Force (8-4) got rolled at a decent Richmond.
Wyoming (13-0) got a nice win at a decent SMU.
Texas Southern (1-13, 0-1) lost a conference game at Southern.
CSU (12-2) got a home win against a UTEP squad that can be dangerous.
Pac-12 games:
ASU (12-2) needed overtime to beat Utah (8-5). Even with the extra time, 55 points was enough to win. Offensively challenged teams.

ASU needing overtime to beat Utah at home further confirms that they simply are not good.

clash of the titans here. but for any old timey peeps, a Joe Harrington L to Southern Utah led to the interim (trans: keep Chauncey)....hiring of Ricardo and the end of the Crazy Joe era.
i was at that game.
Hartford got the road win at BU. That's turning into a solid win for the Buffs. They should have a good record this year (9-6 now and one of the best teams in the Am. East). Great to see.
Baylor with a 9-point halftime lead against Texas right now, too. We need Baylor to be a Top 50 win, so I'm taking some Pepto and cheering for them.

Hartford has a shot to win the America East. This is their best season in years (first winning record OOC since '96)
As I've said, Baylor is still going to be a win we're thankful for in March, despite their bumpy OOC. They can finish as high as 2nd in the Big XII
Every time I cheer for Baylor I feel dirty. The kind you can't wash away with a shower but only feels better after whiskey. Lots and lots of whiskey.
Looks like our win, err, loss to AZ is over rated.
Watched that game and 3 other Arizona games this season. I don't see a top 10 team either.

Yep, been saying all season that they're overrated. Nowhere near the #3 team in the country. Sean Miller teams are soft and don't have "it" (when the refs don't cheat for them), I can't believe more people can't recognize this
N Arizona (5-9, 2-2) lost a home game to S Utah (5-7, 3-0).
Much more importantly:
Murray State (11-3, 2-0) won on the road at SE Missouri State (10-7, 2-1).
That's a big one for RPI.
Right now, Dayton (9-4) is in an important one against a dangerous UAB (8-6) team. Dayton leads 53-40 with just under 16 minutes left. We really need the Flyers to win this one.
Also, St. John's winning at Cincinnati probably helped us because of the "opponents of opponents" thing. A couple teams we beat in Charleston played St. John's in that tourney.

Yeah, I always saw them as a bit overrated, tho I didn't think they'd be in a nail biter with Utah at home. They probably should have at least 3 losses at this point in the season
UCLA or CU will win the conference
Let's hope AZ is still undefeated come V-Day.

I've been consistent in criticizing Miller as a systems and game day coach.... great recruiter, but as an organizational and game day coach ? NOT so good!
Compare and contrast Tad's disappointed Buffs' team two years ago, which took it all the way to the semi's of the NIT, with Miller's "one and done" NIT squad last year. Miller was coming off three Top 10 recruiting classes in a row. He had no excuses for that.
Watch out for UCLA and kiss the Trees good-bye: 0-2!

I am still burning about The Call. Every article, every radio show, brings it back out. I hope the cats come into coors undefeated, because I want to crush what could possibly be the #1 team in the country at that point. I am glad that that loss will not be a bad one at all for RPI and in all honesty it probably gave Tad that extra motivator he seems to need every season to get his teams to a new level. If XJ and Scott can both take steps from their performances in Tucson we will be in great shape. Bring on Zona. I dont care about anyone else at this point.
